I am nomad from past 1 year and i always find very difficult to find travel buddy. Local people i meet have jobs and are free on weekends only. How you guys find travel buddy or how you meet local people?

I’m a South African about to become a Nomad next year. I will still be employed by a South African company and receive a salary into my FNB bank account monthly.

I will be mostly based in Serbia but plan on travelling a lot. Does anyone have any advice on the best bank account to have? Is there a way to not get charged a small fortune in ATM charges and avoid getting my account frozen for using it in lots of countries?

I’m unsure of the best way to handle things. Should I try get another bank account outside of SA (Can I even do that)? I also have a British Passport if that makes a difference.

If any of you have any experienced advice I would be very grateful, Thanks in advance!

I am deep in the search from Mexico to Barbados, Cayman Islands to Columbia.

Anyone know of a hostel with good internet on the beach or a co-living house happening?

Hey guys!

Doing some travel planning for when my boyfriend and I have to be out of the Schengen in the spring. I’m looking at Dubrovnik and Mostar. We’ll probably get to both of them, but was wondering - for those who have been - which one would you recommend basing in longer-term?

Some context on us: we love food and the outdoors. Both of us are cyclists (and should have folding bikes with us by then) and enjoy hiking/walking. Great views are a must. And neither of us are bar or party people, so the night scene isn’t a factor for us. Quiet places are great and I love small towns.

Keep in mind that this will be March/April/maybe May next year, so not high tourist season. I don’t mind if things are generally bustling, but I hate super crowded touristy spots (for example: I love Rome in winter and hate it in summer).

If anyone has insight, would love to hear it!

Hi guys

According to you what is the best way to send and receive money abroad beside paypal?
What are the fees?
What are the pros and cons?

Hello everyone. Which podcasts are you listening too? I’m interested in topics such as:

• Long Term travel
• Internet entrepreneurship
• Starting/running a consultancy
• Building/selling products
• Financial planning & freedom

Here’s what I’m following:

• The Business of freelancing
• Freelancer’s Show
• Nomadtopia
• The Sovereign Man

Any suggestions or other interesting recommendations?

I am looking for testimonials of non US resident nomads who incorporated their company in the US & have a business bank account at a US bank.
I would like to know if the process has been difficult if you have been denied a business bank account because of your status as a non resident alien. If you were successful i would like to know if you are able to do everything that a US resident could do with the business bank account. For instance, i would like to know if you are able to do international wire transfers to the country where you reside.

Hi Nomads!

Like many, I’m not heading back to be with my family for the holidays but I was thinking it would be fun to maybe do a nomad family gathering. We could rent a cool house/apartment somewhere fun and do our own thing. I personally am available from 23-27 December, but people could arrive/leave sooner/later. I love to cook so I’d be up for doing a big christmas dinner.

If anyone is interested, or has suggestions on a good place to go, chime in!

Hola everyone from Colombia! I have recently landed in South America and am planning on making my way south from here over the next six months. I expect to only relocate on the weekends so I can keep my 9-5 wifi schedule, but other than that I have no real plans for destinations or timelines. I’d would like to meet other digital nomads to team up with— Anyone on or beginning a similar path in this region?

I’m ticking off my lists before I venture off again and am starting to purchase stuff like 4G Routers, Wireless speakers, Mice, etc.

The only thing is… all of the stuff is shipped from Asia in the first place. Are all these gadgets readily available in a place like Bangkok and is it worth waiting to save on costs?

Hello! I forgot the pin number to my Wells Fargo ATM card and I can’t withdraw funds. I’ve tried to initiate a Wire but was told the account has to be active for 180 days.

MoneyGram and Western Union won’t allow me to transfer money to myself outside of the United States.

Paypal isn’t allowing me to add $ from my linked WF account, because I didn’t create a traveler profile before leaving. So it’s blocked!

Unfortunately, nothing seems to be working and it’s been 5 days. Do you guys have any immediate suggestions?

I would like to hurry up and pay my rent before Friday. Is Transferwise ok? I’ve heard mixed review.

Thanks

I am doing research into what skills are good for getting work anywhere as you travel - other than working on line. So like craftsmen, a hairdresser… people using skills that are not available locally and so having them as a traveller is an advantage to getting work in the places your are planning on visiting. So, any one working their way around the world and not working on your laptop?

Are any digital nomads finding success with Bitcoin ?

I’m a Nomad UI Developer, living in a small city in the East of #Morocco, here are my expenses PER DAY,

• Sleeping: (5$)
• Breakfast (from 1$ to 3$)
• Public transport: bus, taxi … (8$ to 10$) (I’m thinking of buying a bike)
• Lunch (~ up to 6$)
• Coffee: 3 to 5 cups from local places (to done my work) (5$)
• Wifi: FREE
• Dinner (5$)

In general, it costs me about ~ 30$ per day, to live as a digital nomad.
What about you?

P.S:
A quick shot of my current place, while writing this post.

I play guitar and practice almost every day. I’ve been sedentary for a little less than a year, so I haven’t had to lug it around, but I’m hitting the road again soon.

Does anyone have any experience traveling with a guitar and/or other musical instrument? Any tips on preventing damage from airline luggage crews? Any extra precautions you take? Do you buy travel insurance for your instrument?

My guitar retails at over $1000, and I’ve added a nice pickup (~$200), so I’m thinking I might buy a cheaper guitar with a good hard case and travel with it instead.
